The Spanish of Mexico: A Partially Annotated Bibliography for 1970-90 Part I

University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

Abstract: Particularly relevant in the era of the North American Free Trade Agreement, this bibliography is the first of a two-part sequence on the Spanish spoken in Mexico, which represents a continuation of Jack Emory Davis's «The Spanish of Mexico: An Annotated Bibliography for 1940-69», published in Hispania 54 (1971), 624-56. The following sections are included in Part I:

1. Introduction
2. Abbreviations, Sources
3. Bibliographies and General Studies
4. Phonology, Phonetics, Entonation
5. Morphology and Word Formation, Syntax
6. Lexicography, Studies of Lexicology, Argot and Slang, Semantics

Key Words: bibliography, Mexico, Spanish language, linguistics

In the era of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), comes an increased awareness of the need for up-to-date information on all aspects of the geographic block formed by Canada, the United States, and Mexico. Trade flows from the Yukon to the Yucatan. Goods and people move from Bangor, Maine to Barstow, California; trucks roll along the highways from Quebec City to Quintana Roo. We live in an international economy.

Parallel to the need for commercial atlases for the NAFTA area is the legitimate scholarly need for linguistic studies of the languages spoken in North America. This bibliography attempts to bring the information on the materials published concerning the Spanish spoken in Mexico up-to-date from 1970 through 1990. This bibliography is a continuation of Jack Emory Davis's «The Spanish of Mexico: An Annotated Bibliography for 1940-69», published in Hispania, 54 (1971), 624-56. The Davis bibliography itself was a continuation of the Mexican section of Madaline Nichol's A Bibliographic Guide to Materials on American Spanish (Harvard Univ. Press, 1941, 81-92) and was also a continuation and incorporation of Hensley C. Woodbridge's «An Annotated Bibliography of Mexican Spanish for 1940-19 53», Kentucky Foreign Language Quarterly 1 (1954), 80-89⁸⁴.

The goal of this present bibliography has been to give comprehensive coverage for the two decades (1970-90) since the appearance of the Davis bibliography, with the hope that eventually the Davis bibliography and the present one can be united and published in book form as Fifty Years of Mexican Spanish Studies: 1940-90. For the present this bibliography should be used in conjunction with Davis.

This bibliography treats only the Spanish spoken in Mexico. The reader interested in Chicano or Mexican-American Spanish should consult categories two through eight of Richard V. Teschner, Garland D. Bills, and Jerry R Craddock, Spanish and English of United States Hispanos: A Critical, Annotated, Linguistic Bibliography, Arlington: Center for Applied Linguistics, 1975.

The basic organization of the Davis bibliography has been followed to allow for some

––––––––   246   ––––––––

measure of continuity, yet at the same time the nine divisions of the Davis bibliography have been expanded to eleven and made to more closely parallel the arrangement of the Linguistic Bibliography. For example, the Argot-Slang section of the Davis bibliography is subsumed under the Lexicography section of this bibliography, while Orthography which Davis subsumes under Morphology-Syntax has been given its own sectional division. Responding to the growth of interest and publications in psycho- and sociolinguistics, we have introduced a section on these topics. And to remedy the lack of a section on Colonial Mexican Spanish and parallel to the Diachronic Linguistics section of the Linguistic Bibliography there is a section on Historical Linguistics devoted to Studies of Sixteenth Century Mexican Spanish.

In keeping with the Davis bibliography works of a pedagogical nature are excluded, unless the topic might shed fight on the Spanish of Mexico. Some topics embrace more than one aspect of linguistics and have been placed under the most appropriate category.

The growth of interest in the language spoken in the most populous of Spanish-speaking countries is betrayed in the 348 entries contained in this bibliography which covers a twenty year period-compared to the 302 entries of the Davis bibliography which spans the work of three decades and of necessity includes a variety of linguistic articles of a more superficial and popular nature found in the popular Mexican press.

In 1964, Juan M. Lope Blanch described the state of the art of Mexican dialectology and compared it to a child of early age who has suffered since birth from grave illnesses. As can be seen from the number of entries in this bibliography, most of which are from professional, scholarly journals and books, Mexican dialectology and linguistic studies in general have outgrown their childhood diseases and have come of age-thanks in large part to Lope Blanch himself.

1. Davis, Jack Emory. The Spanish of Mexico: An Annotated Bibliography for 1940-69», Hisp, 54 (1971), 624-56.

The Davis bibliography is a continuation of the Mexican section of Madaline Nichol's A Bibliographic Guide to Materials on American Spanish (Harvard Univ. Press, 1941, 81-92), and also a continuation and incorporation of Hensley C. Woodbridge's «An Annotated Bibliography of Mexican Spanish for 1940-1953», KFLQ, 1 (1954), 80-89. The goal of this bibliography has been to give a comprehensive coverage for the three decades indicated. It contains 302 entries placed into 9 divisions by author in alphabetical order. Continuous numbering of entries for easy reference. Divisions are General Studies, Lexicography and Semantics-General, Phonology, Phonetics, Entonation-General, Morphology Syntax, Orthography-General, Regional Studies, Interlingual Influence, Argot-Slang, Studies of Individual Authors and/or Literary Works, and finally, Place Names.

«Sequel to excellent bibliographies of other sections of Latin America by Davis... Annotations are especially well done, and regional designation is helpful to dialectologists. One is especially impressed by all that has been written on Mexican Spanish». As annot. by Canfield in HLAS 34: 3053 (1972).

This useful guide concerns itself with all aspects of linguistic investigation in Mexico for the decade mentioned. The book is divided into three parts: I. The investigation of the indigenous languages of Mexico; II. The investigation of the Spanish spoken in Mexico; and, III. A bibliography of linguistic investigation in Mexico. Not annotated. Divided into thirty-five sections with entries listed alphabetically by author. Each division numbers entries separately. -Also annot. by Canfield in HLAS 44: 4511 (1982) and rev. by María Milagro Caballero Wangüement in Historia y Bibliografía Americanistas (Escuela de Estudios Hispano-Americanas, Seville, Spain), 26 (1982), 231-32.

We include this work because it is the method used to collect the data base for most of the articles included in this bibliography which discuss the educated speech of Mexico City and also so as to be able to note the important reviews it has been given. The concerted effort of the Comisión de lingüística y dialectología Iberoamericana, meeting in Bloomington, Indiana in August, 1964 and subsequently in Montevideo, Madrid, and Bogotá, undertook the coordinated study of the linguistic norm for cultivated speech for the principle cities of Iberoamérica and the Iberian Peninsula of which this questionnaire is a starting point Part I includes phonetics and phonology, morphosyntax and lexicology. Part II, yet to appear, will deal with syntactical items on a broader sense and is to include colloquial and stylistic structures. «All in all the questionnaire reflects and [sic] excellent beginning and we wish the Comisión the best in their venture». -D. N. Cárdenas in HR, 39 (1971), 441-42.

«Auch werm eine realistische Skepsis am Platz ist, ob das ganze Projekt in der vorgesehenen Weise an allen vorgesehenen Orten in der vorgesehenen Zeit wird realisiert werden können, so möchten wir doch hoffen, das der einmal eingeschlagene Weg mit Energie und Zähigkeit -bei allen zu erwartenden Schwierigkeiten- weiterverfolgt werden möge. Die Resultate werden die Mühe lohnen». -K. Baldinger in ZRP, 85 (1969), 648-49.

The dialectal study begun in 1967 led to the development of a questionaire with 370 concepts which were tested by 12 investigators in 20 places in all regions of Mexico. The results of this fieldwork led to the preparation of a second questionnaire with 480 questions concerning 700 linguistic problems and was applied to another 29 locations. This resulted in the preparation of a third questionnaire with 1000 questions which will be used in 250 more places of 3-4 informants each. [L. B.] and his coworkers hope to discover the most important dialect zones of the Mexican territory. -Rev. by K.

«Collection of articles published between 1960 and 1970, all of which describe aspects of the Spanish of present-day Mexico. Several have to do with the possible influence of the Nahuatl substratum: the arcaizante aspect of Mexican Spanish; vowels that tend to be eliminated; final /r/ and the Nahuatl substratum; full consonantization of /y/; the preterite in Mexican Spanish; the extensive use of reflexive verbs; the possessive adjective in referring to parts of the body; and even possible Nahuatl influence on the grammar. It is to be noted that some of the "Mexican" traits are also found in other parts of Latin America». -As annot. by Canfield in HLAS 38: 6093 (1976).

«This collection of ten articles, written 1960-1970 and assembled from diverse sources is representative of a transitional period in Hispanic dialectology, between those studies marked by more traditional approaches and those with a more formally sociolinguistic emphasis on research methodology. The articles are organized in the chronological order of their appearance within three major divisions: I. CUESTIONES GENERALES; II. FONÉTICA; III. GRAMÁTICA (incl. lexical problems)». -K. H. Kvavick in RPh, 33 (1979-80), 194-201.

«Lope Blanch ist sicher einer der besten Kenner des mexikanischen Spanisch; ob seine Warnungen vor einer Überschätzung des nahua-Einflusses, die sich wie ein roter Faden durch die Beiträge hindurchziehen, in allen Fällen berichtigt sind, wird die Künftige Forschung überprüfen müssen». -Kurt Baldinger in ZRP, 92 (1976), 606.

«Selected samples of the 400 hours of recordings of Mexico City residents, made by members of the Centro de Lingüística Hispánica of the Univ. Nacional Autónoma de México under the direction of Professor Juan M. Lope Blanch. The selections, usually representing an hour of recording time or 30 minutes, are from a variety of language situations: some were lectures, some dialogues between two informants, and a large number were interviews of a single informant. The principal knowledge gained from the printed samples is in the realm of syntax and vocabulary. Spelling is traditional». -As annot. by Canfield in HLAS 36: 3847 (1974).

19. Lope Blanch, Juan M. «Estado actual de la dialectología mexicana», ALFAL-1, 1973, 195-205.

We include this article by [L. B.] since its publication date falls within the time frame of this bibliography. [L. B.] describes the state of the art of Mexican dialectology in 1964 before the linguistic project began. He takes the pulse of Mexican dialectology in that year and his diagnosis is that «la dialectología mexicana es como un niño de muy corta edad que ha sufrido, desde el momento mismo de su nacimiento, de muy graves dolencias». (p. 195) As can be seen in the number of entries in this present bibliography, Mexican dialectology has recovered from its childhood diseases.

The origins of the project and the first activities were discussed in «Las zonas dialectales de México: Proyecto de delimitación», NRFH, 19 (1970), 1-11, (see note 20). Contains an appendix of the cities which have been studied so far. -Rev. by M. Birladeanu in StCL, 29 (1978), 462-66.

«A good once-over of the efforts that have been made since 1966, under the direction of Lope Blanch to describe the principal dialectal manifestations of Spanish in Mexico. The author insists that they are not working toward a linguistic atlas, although initially they may have envisioned this. What they have done is describe the Spanish of some 190 communities in the Republic in an attempt to define dialect zones. Several investigators have participated: Gloria Ruiz, Raúl Ávila, Beatriz Garza, Teresa Piñeros, among others. Sample maps show the occurrence of certain phenomena, and at the end of the article he lists the places visited so far, with indications of those that are not complete, as far as the encuesta is concerned». -As annot. by Canfield in HLAS 38:6092 (1976).

«Juan M. Lope Blanch... tackles the relationship between sociolinguistics and dialectology and the ways in which the former may complement the latter, especially in his Mexican dialect research. L. B. offers a useful survey of the issue, showing familiarity with relevant research from the earlier contributions of Menéndez Pidal, Dauzat, and Jaberg to more recent probings by Fishman, Haugen, and Labov. He admits humorously, that, like a new Monsieur Jourdain, one can be engaged in sociolinguistics, believing one is working in dialectology, citing his own research experience (79). In concluding L. B. draws an interesting distinction between the need for a more strictly sociolinguistic orientation in the study of U. S. Spanish as opposed to a basically dialectological slant for studying the state of affairs in Mexico, where an excess of sociological considerations could complicate the work (82)». -As rev. by Ralph de Gorog in RPh, 36 (1982-83), 244-45.

This little volume of reflections on the Spanish spoken in Mexico is of little value for the professional linguist.

«Although the writer's attitude is normative and he decries the vast influence of English on modern Spanish, his examples are very good and reveal the extremes of sense loans in languages in contact. As examples of "contaminación ambiental" he offers such Spanish phrases as "en las rocas", "cruceros por el Caribe", firmas (firms), retirarse (to retire), and even hijo de perra». -As annot. by Canfield in HLAS 44: 4606 (1982).

He then reviews earlier attempts to apply spectrographic analysis to Luso-Hispanic vowels. He then discusses the results of his own ongoing investigation of the vowels of the Romance languages with particular emphasis on the recorded data of the Spanish of six speakers from Tijuana. -Also annot. by Canfield in HLAS 44: 4556 (1982).

Acoustic data on sentence-initial and final intonations in two dialects of Spanish are presented in this paper; the physical measurements are correlated with a perceptual analysis of informants intonations. The resulting descriptive information obtained from conversational style of Mexican and Castilian informants is contrasted with established research on Spanish intonation based primarily on a reading style.

Kvavik regrets that some of these studies show pitch curves but no frequency information; and she compiles new data from recordings of four male Spaniards and four male Mexicans.

This paper is based on previous research (see preceding entries) and presents data on sense-group cadences in Mexican Spanish and their function in connected discourse. The cadences described are simple (unidirectional) or complex (circumflex, fall-rise, terraced, or downstepped). A number of factors influencing the cadence interpretations are discussed. -Also annot. by Canfield in HLAS 44: 4519 (1982).

Yet another paper on the intonational forms of Mexican Spanish by [K. K.] presenting data inventorying intonation patterns verified by acoustic methods.

«Karen H. Kvavik ... analyzes by computer 600 melodic groups in the speech of three natives of Mexico City to ascertain the intonational patterns of Mexican Spanish. A history of research in the area is presented, with critical reference to T. Navarro Tomás's broad-gauged Manual de entonación española (México, 1966) and the specifically Mexican studies by Wallis, King, and Matluck. From her data, K. infers that there are three types of units: (1) simple and complex groups with the change in pitch at the end of the sentence, recalling T.N.T.s sintomenas; (2) the complex form, with the stress pulled back from the end of the utterance (example: "Las casas son bonitas", which follows the patterns /1211/or /1221/); and (3) miscellaneous groups composed of various sintonemas involving such intonations as circumflex + circumflex, circumflex + rising circumflex, and circumflex + sudden rise, as in "se bebe mucho incluse los niños". K. concludes that Mexican colloquial data show a complexity and diversity of patterns hitherto unobserved. The paper lends itself to oral delivery more readily because of the disadvantage involved in presenting intonation patterns graphically; one thinks of the useful phonograph recordings T.N.T. made for the linguaphone Institute to illustrate the sounds and intonation patterns discussed in his Manual de pronunciación española (N.Y.: Hafner Publ. Co., n. d.)» -As rev. by Ralph de Gorog in RPh., 36 (1982-83), 249-49.

This paper provides a description of intonations with several pitch accents and elaborates their discourse function in Mexican and Castilian Spanish. [K. K.] finds it evident «that the Mexicans use more circumflexes than the Castilians, observations which coincide with Navarro's impressions. However, it is not just a matter of quantity, but also that the Mexicans use multipeak intonations consistently to mark discourse boundaries». (p. 59).

La visión global de los hechos en su síntesis total muestra que, en estos dos casos, el polimorfismo es ligeramente superior en el habla popular que en la culta, cosa que coincide, en sus líneas fundamentales, con la tesis expuesta tan racionalmente por Manuel Alvar».

«Examinadas las principales teorías elaboradas sobre este problema, el autor piensa que dada la última relación entre la naturaleza dinámica de la lengua y la multisecularidad del cambio lingüístico es necesario admitir que en toda lengua se produce un estado normal, más o menos desarrollado, de polimorfismo, que se manifiesta tanto en los aspectos fonológico y morfosintáctico, como lexicosemántico». -A.

[L. B.] examines the «sporadic» pronunciation of a labiodental /v/ in Mexico. Although Menéndez-Pidal (among others) declared that v was never pronounced natively as labiodental -always as a fricative [L. B.] notes that Amado Alonso (1955) found that the distinction bilabial /b/ and labiodental /v/ was maintained in wide areas of Spain and Hispanic world well into the 16th century and particularly in Southern Spain, not to mention Judeoespañol. And remains of a labiodental /v/ are found all over in 20th century Spanish. Although it is no doubt true that the b/v opposition was brought to the new world and there can be no denial of the adstratum influence of labiodental /v/ under influence of English in Chicano and border Spanish (as well as French/Catalan labiodental adstratum influence in bilingual areas of Spain) -only «sporadic» evidence of labiodental /v/ has been found in Mexico by researchers for the ALM (Atlas Lingüístico de México). [L. B.] attributes what labiodental /v/ that exists to well-meaning teachers and pedantic style: «Pienso, en conclusión, que en el español de México sólo se hallen testimonios de la llamada /v/ pedante, ultracorrecta o afectada, que aparece casi exclusivamente en elocuciones formales o en el habla enfática....» (p. 169).

The second case (34%) in which the «yo» is found is in those examples in which the verb lacks specific verb marking for person as with the imperfect tense and also the impersonal verb forms such as the infinitive, gerund, and participle. -Also annot. by Canfield in HLAS 42: 4524 (1980).

In this note the author observes that in the 305 cases in which Mexican Spanish uses the personal subject pronouns, not all cases are obligatory. Non obligatory use of the subject pronouns is found with 1) accumulation of words such as también before the verb; 2) presence of affirmative or negative adverbs; 3) combination of the pronominal expression with verbs of intellectual perception; and 4) in combination with imperative forms.
